small TAS, I jump off cliff at the end to skip the small cutscene. This loses race time, but saves real time. Link to video

Without a replay file, the video is only hearsay. I could make an encode that shaves time off of that with minimal effort and it would be equally unverifiable. As of this post, no record exists below 05:02.25.
You are pretty epic

The reason for the decline on the other TAS is due to the fact that it required actual contents from the save file to be moved on to the new file. T.T. doesn't necessarily require this "save file," because after he is unlocked he remains on the cartridge until you actually delete that permanent "magic code". Yet to my understanding this would still require a verification movie, which does not have to be good. I recommend doing this if you actually move forward with the TAS because your next option would be using Banjo. He is significantly less of a viewing pleasure considering his speed is not as great as you can tell by the already existing 100% TAS. Also to reiterate, no trick in the game is character specific... every single character can perform every single trick.

I'd hate to break it to you guys... but the route for any% using T.T. or not is still what I pointed out earlier. You guys still don't understand how the "wrong warp" works... It brings you to the overworld or dragon forest depending on version. However, if you are on the tracks mode it takes the data from the highest progressed file and loads it into your last loaded file. Which is completely useless all together... I'd suggest you actually do a bit more research into the DKR community by either asking me or Toufool about any of the tricks. Blindly going into a TAS with no knowledge of the game whatsoever is not going to end well at all. There are a plethora of tricks/glitches that are undocumented to those outside of the community. It would be a relatively bland TAS when none of these tricks are used. Especially when the TAS for Any% would be relatively boring compared to a 100% TAS using T.T. which would be way more exciting.

Hello, the fastest route for this game actually does not use what Toufool did at SGDQ2013. In fact it uses a Japanese copy of the game that uses the wrong warp to Dragon Forest with the plane vehicle which allows you to skip 5 balloons by flying out of bounds into Haunted Woods. The outcome of this wrong warp seems to be somewhat random, I have no idea how to manipulate it at all. You still need the 8 balloons from Dino Domain races, and 2 more to enter Whale Bay for the Sherbert Island trophy. However, there is one thing that should be pointed out... that is the Hot Top Volcano silver coin challenge requires 10 balloons to enter normally without any T.T. stomp. You can bypass this with a precise stomp into Dino Domain boss, that way you can do the races back to back just like the 100% run does in Future Fun Land. I'm not sure on the exact time save for skipping 1 overworld balloon and the back-to-back races. It would be real close in determining if this "TAS only" route saves time. Here are two videos for examples of the route, although they are a little sloppy... especially low%. Keep in mind, it would be faster to get the lucky wrong warp first as opposed to last in my Any% run. On the other hand I haven't timed which would be fastest for low%.

The warp changes depending on the version of the game you have, why it changes I have no answer. NTSC-U/PAL 1.0 Taking the warp on this version unfortunately crashes the game NTSC-U/PAL 1.1 This takes you to the overworld every single time NTSC-J This takes you to one of two locations, either being overworld or dragon forest. The reason for this almost seems random, if you would like to try and figure out go ahead. Now when you take the warp to dragon forest you also have a chance of being the plane and you can fly out of bounds which skips the 16 balloon requirement outside of T.T. Stomp.

I have no idea what this is or why it happens with textboxes but here is a video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Jhn4MuNX8Q What happens depends on the textbox that you have up on the screen Races Ancient Lake - I T Y text Jungle Falls - I T Y text Fossil Canyon - I T Y text Hot Top Volcano - I T Y text Everfrost Peak - Crash Walrus Cove - Crash Snowball Valley - Crash Frosty Village - Crash Windmill Plains- Crash Greenwood Village - I T Y text I did get the Windmill Plains stomp on console to test out the crash, it behaves the exact same way as on emulator. The screen turns black and there is nothing that appears and you are unable to exit the game without hitting the restart or powering off. I'll keep this post edited with what I test for now

Hi there, I have recently found/researched the T.T. Stomp and OoB described earlier in this thread. Along with that come some other tricks i've discovered messing around with the game.

Well, actually... not a lot are useful. However, there are a few key points i'd like to point out. Low% is now possible in DKR. Various tricks found in those videos allow for a balloon count of 32. The first trick contributing to low% is the Wizpig 1 Early video, this isn't really used to access Wizpig, but Dino Domain instead. Once inside Dino Domain you use a T.T. stomp to skip a balloon door to start your adventure. Continuing until you reach a stopping point in Dragon Forest (Skipping all the overworld balloons, Taj challenges, keys, and minigames) is the T.T. stomp to Haunted Woods early (Balloon count for that door is 37). For that one you need to do the silver coin boulder canyon before you can even attempt the stomp. Lastly you continue like normal until you reach Future Fun Land where you finish with T.T. Stomp to skip the amulet door that requires all 47 balloons and the T.T. Amulet (Minigames + Keys) Any% would use the T.T. stomp from above at Future Fun Land to only skip the amulet. Doing other skips would possibly be slower(?) Why not skip straight to Future Fun Land? The loading zone for the lighthouse does not exist until 2 checks are made, wizpig 1 and all 4 trophies. Trophies can not be done until 2nd boss of their respective world. 2nd boss can't be done until all their respective silver coin challenges. Silver coin challenges can't be done until their regular challenges AND 1st boss. These tricks are pretty much all that are found in DKR and it is VERY VERY unlikely that there will be more.
